Your phone’s battery life shouldn’t drop faster than your morning coffee cools. But if it does, you’re not alone. From background apps to ageing hardware, there are many reasons your phone battery drains faster than expected.
At Blackapple Cellular, our team diagnoses and repairs battery-related issues daily. Whether it’s a faulty charger, an overheating issue, or a worn-out battery, we’ll help you fix it before it turns into a major problem.
1. Background Apps Consuming Power
Many apps — social media, maps, or even weather widgets — continue to run even when you think you’ve closed them. These constant background processes drain your battery silently throughout the day.
Fix: Disable background refresh for unnecessary apps. If you’re still facing excessive drain, get a diagnostic check to detect deeper software or hardware problems.
2. Battery Age and Health
Lithium-ion batteries degrade over time. After about 500 charge cycles, performance drops significantly. You’ll notice shorter usage times and unexpected shutdowns.
Our battery replacement service can restore your phone’s original endurance using OEM-quality batteries designed for safety and longevity.
3. Improper Charging Habits
Using cheap or incompatible chargers causes voltage fluctuations that damage internal cells. Overcharging or frequent full discharges also shorten the lifespan.
Fix: Use certified chargers and, if your port feels loose or overheats, visit our charging repair centre to prevent long-term damage.
4. Outdated Software & Glitches
Old software often contains bugs that cause unnecessary battery drain.
Regular updates optimise performance and battery efficiency. If your iPhone still drains fast after updates, visit our iPhone repair team to recalibrate or replace your battery safely.
5. Power IC or Hardware Faults
Sometimes, the issue isn’t your battery — it’s a faulty power management IC chip. This small but crucial part distributes power across your phone.
Our professional diagnostic testing service identifies such hidden issues and ensures the correct repair is performed the first time.
